| I thought cons don't count "L" as a real cosplay. |

| Depends on the con. |

| Depends on the cosplayer. There's more to "L" than just jeans and a white shirt... apparently this guy hasn't realized that. |

| I'm not a cosplayer. At least, not an avid one (been known to costume at least once or twice). But this subject makes me all kinds of stabby.
I've seen some pretty damn lazy cosplays, and then I've seen lazy L cosplays. Ferchrissake at least add some eye shadow for effect... THERE IS MORE TO L THEN T-SHIRT AND A GODDAMN PAIR OF JEANS. /huff |

| Note: Even the 'lazy' cosplayers at least put 10 hours of work in to their costumes. L Cosplayers go to Walmart and find cheap white undershirt and jeans...
The bad ones anyway. The good ones use props and actually have learned to WALK like L. I always thought Cosplaying was for the love of the character. My Cosplaying friends tell me this, and quite frankly, I think its true. I know a gal who busts all kinds of butt getting her cosplays done before cons...and has actually lost a LOT of sleep over it. To her and others who do the same as her, they have my utmost respect. |

| cosplaying light L is more about getting the mannerisms down than the look |
Current Post On Trae’s Blog:
Tomorrow, April 1st 2025, we have a massively important State Supreme Court election here in the state of Wisconsin. It will decide the balance of the state supreme court, and it's vitally important that we get Susan Crawford elected. Elon Musk has literally poured millions of dollars into Brad Schimel's campaign, and we are fighting for our lives here. I've already voted, and if you haven't yet and you live here... make sure you do.
But no matter what happens tomorrow, no matter what the result is, the fight is far from over. ICE agents are grabbing people off the streets, our public institutions are being systematically destroyed, and our international and diplomatic relations with historically close allies are just, honestly, fucked right now. Today is Trans Day of Visibility, and trans and queer rights have been under steady attack by the right. As a nonbinary person and member of the trans community, I'm genuinely scared for a lot of my friends right now.
But we fight. We stand up. We survive.
If we accept defeat, we are handing victory to those who want us dead. By living and fighting, we carry on to the next day and then the day after that. I know I posted it right after the election last November, but there's a pretty famous Joe Hill quote everyone should keep in mind: "Don't waste any time mourning. Organize!"
Go out, hug your friends. Build a local community if you can, and get involved in your local politics. Make sure you call your Reps and Senators every day if you can, and for pete's sake fucking vote.
We can make it as long as we don't stop fighting.
Remember that on April 5th at 11AM Eastern/10AM Central you can join me for the Critical Thinking Witches' Collective's April Brew virtual event! Attendance is free, and you can register here!
